Bailey St. Clair, 5-9, F, Sr., Coronado

St. Clair emerged onto the scene for the Lady Mustangs as a sophomore three years ago and has been a consistent force all the way through her senior season, when she averaged 15.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game for Co-District 2-5A champion Coronado. First-team All-District 2-5A.

Tanequa Ards, 5-9, F., Jr., Estacado

The older of the two Ards sisters, Tanequa Ards was outstanding in leading the Lady Matadors to an undefeated District 4-4A championship and a berth to the regional quarterfinals. She averaged 11 points per game and was a force both inside and outside. District 4-4A Offensive Most Valuable Player.

Shamika Jones, 5-8, F, Sr., Monterey

While other pieces were added to the puzzle that made Monterey a playoff team after missing the postseason a year ago, Jones was clearly the foundation for the Lady Plainsmen. She averaged 12.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in leading Monterey to the area round of the playoffs. First-team All-District 2-5A.

Layne Reeves, 5-11, G/F, Jr., Trinity Christian

Even though the Lady Lions fell one game short of a third straight state championship, Reeves continued to be one of the better players on the South Plains in any classification. She averaged 11.9 points and six rebounds per game in guiding TCHS to the TAPPS Class 5A state title game.

April Ehlers, 5-8, G, Jr., Cooper

Cooper's emergence over the past couple of years can be directly traced to player development, and no player has improved more than Ehlers both in directing the Lady Pirates' offense and in scoring. She was second on the team in scoring at 12.9 points per game. First-team All-District 4-3A.

Jorge Martinez, G, Sr., Lubbock High

Despite a down year by the Westerners in which they missed the playoffs, Martinez made sure they were still a force to be reckoned with on a nightly basis. He averaged 14.7 points per game and was one of the more consistent scorers in the district. First-team all-District 2-5A.

Bryan Finch, 6-3, C, Sr., Coronado

On the inside, there was no more dominant force than the 6-foot-3 Finch, who led area Class 5A players in both scoring (18.8 points per game) and rebounding (7.7 per game). He also had two 30-point games against district rival Monterey en route to earning the District 2-5A Most Valuable Player honor.

Carson Prichard, F, Sr., Trinity Christian

Trinity Christian was again one of the state's best teams in the private school ranks, and Prichard took his place as the latest in a long line of Lions to lead his team to another deep playoff run. He led Trinity Christian in scoring on the season, averaging 13.5 points per game.

Bradley Duvall, 6-1, G, Sr., Estacado

The cousin of Al Duvall, Bradley helped make the Matadors' backcourt one of the more dangerous backcourts in the area in Class 4A, whether it was from his scoring (13 points per game) or by directing the offense from the point guard spot. First-team all-District 4-4A.

Josh Davis, 6-4, F, Sr., Monterey

Despite missing the first few games of the season while the Monterey football team made another playoff run, Davis was still one of the best players in the city with his ability to post up inside on one possession and step back for the 3-pointer on the next. He averaged 17.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. First-team all-District 2-5A.
